Optional Personal Statement: My current clinical and research efforts are focused on devising treatment strategies for and understanding the role of abnormal mechanics in the development of premature osteoarthritis. The cause of arthritis is thought to be mechanical in origin due to abnormally increased load seen with instability or internal impingement.
